What better time than the start of a new year to set fresh personal and professional goals? Do you make and keep your new year resolutions? Some resolutions don’t stand a chance. I always resolve to lose weight, but end up with a net gain every year. Perhaps this year I can hedge my bets by picking some vague resolution about becoming a better person. That gives me a whole year to do at least one thing right. How can I go wrong?

There are a number of websites that can help you find a resolution that fits. The resolution challenged can check out About.com: Pittsburgh, which lists the top 10 resolutions. Included in the list: Spend more time with friends and family; quit smoking; and exercise more.

I could never keep a resolution for more than a month, except for the resolution I made in 2004 which I have been following religiously till today. That resolution was to never make a new year resolution again.

Never believed in New Year resolutions. If you want to do something good, like giving up smoking, why wait till January 1 ? Stop when you decide to quit,ay on November 23. It is much better than waiting for New Year’s Day.

“Happy Old Year” could be our mantra considering gloomy forecast of 2009 by financial experts. Mizoram is rather “unglobalised” so not many people may lose jobs, or business ruin. But it is happening so widely that someday, perhaps in 2009 itself, we may be hit by global “meltdown”. 2008 was bad, but 2009 will be much worse.
